Why do you need more expensive probes? Expensive usually equals higher bandwidth, and you're in the audio range.
Well, I don't necessarily want more expensive probes. I just want better quality than the stock Rigol probes.
I was thinking about getting a pair of the 3903-2 (1x) probes, but thought I'd ask for advice in here before buying anything.

You could grab some used HP/Lecroy/whoeverelse probes off ebay for relatively cheaply, but you will need to check their compensation range and all this will give you is "feel good". Your scope is probably the bottleneck in your set up (assuming you're probing something far above audio range.)
If I were you, I'd probably want a differential probe though, so you can probe more willy-nilly.
Well, there are two things that I want: 1) Better hooks. 2) A better guarantee on consistency between the probes and overall quality.
I frequently have CH1 plotting the waveform at one point in a circuit and then CH2 plotting it somewhere else to see how much the waveform has changed (or how consistent it is). So far these stock Rigol probes have gotten the job done, but they're getting worn out and sometimes they introduce noise. I can easily replace them with something cheap, but I don't know much about probe quality/drawbacks.
I was thinking about getting something like this:

Thanks for the responses.
